ID-20: OEM Barcode Reader
The world’s smallest full-featured and fully-integrated barcode imager, ID-20 offers OEMs and engineers a perfect set of value and performance options in a tiny, simple, and streamlined solution for embedded designs or WIP traceability. ID-20, the only reader of its kind, offers a single-cable solution that uses USB for both communication (USB 2.0 High Speed and Ethernet over USB) and power to enable plug-and-play integration. Mini is now micro and incredibly easy to use.

ID-30: Miniature Barcode Reader
A micro-sized barcode imager with huge potential, the ID-30 furthers Microscan’s 30+ year legacy of innovative, space-efficient, miniature design with a corner-exit cable and high-density 15-pin connector (offering serial, USB 2.0 High Speed, and Ethernet over USB capabilities) as well as optional liquid lens autofocus. Perfect for OEMs and machine builders, the ID-30 offers the perfect combination of size, performance, and flexible integration. The ID-30 outperforms any reader in its class and is the ideal solution for automation engineers looking for incredible performance in a micro-sized product.

ID-40: Industrial Ethernet Barcode Reader
A revolutionary new product, the ID-40 redefines the imager market as the smallest IP65/67-rated, true-industrial Ethernet barcode reader. With best-in-class decoding for 1D/2D or DPM codes in a rugged, ultra-compact case, the ID-40 is the complete package for solving any barcode reading challenge under any condition. Combining unprecedented ease-of-use, exceptional decode performance, optional liquid lens autofocus, and ultra-small form factor, the ID-40 sets the benchmark as the ultimate compact imager in the industry.

ID-45: Industrial Barcode Reader
There’s much, much more to the MicroHAWK ID-45 than meets the eye. This industrial code reader is both exceptionally small and powerful in the extreme, bringing the compact, intuitive and high-performing MicroHAWK family to a whole new level. With X-Mode 4.0 decoder, TRUE Autofocus and an all-new lighting configuration, it successfully performs tough reads at high speeds and long distances. Capable of capturing codes in all sorts of applications – including metal cavities – the ID-45 is the scanner of choice for industrial traceability solutions. From tiny DPMs up close to Data Matrix codes one meter away, there’s a configuration to fit your needs.

The ID-45 reads right out of the box with the browser-based WebLink user interface, meaning that no software installation is required at setup. This highly configurable platform offers more custom capability than anything else in its class, and the intuitive user interface WebLink makes this advanced flexibility simpler than ever to set up. It’s also the smallest industrial reader with Ethernet communications.

The camera itself boasts significantly brighter lighting than the previous generation with 24 LEDs. The TRUE Autofocus functionality utilizes a liquid lens to quickly find and focus on the symbol and XMODE to perform advanced decoding of DPMs and damaged codes quickly and accurately every time. Exceptional performance and reliability in such a small package makes the ID-45 ideal for space-constrained industrial automation lines. It sets the benchmark as the ultimate compact imager in the industry.

The MicroHAWK® platform offers the most advanced machine vision capability on the world's smallest smart cameras. Built on the highest-performance imaging engine in its class, MicroHAWK cameras are fully-integrated with optics, processor, lighting, and communications, offering an array of modular hardware options to take on any inspection task in three micro form factors.

As a part of the “Air Transport Association SPEC 2000” manufacturers are required to mark and track each part used to assemble an airplane with a 2D code, requiring that automated tracking systems to replace manual documentation.

A manufacturer of anti-lock breaks wanted to mark each component in its system with a 2D code and track it throughout the manufacturing process, requiring the use of a high-performance direct part mark reader.

A manufacturer of printed circuit board assemblies needed to replace its vision system with a barcode reader that could be easily reconfigured between product line changeovers without the use of a monitor or a PC.

In this video, our application support team will show you step-by-step how to get the MicroHAWK ID-40 barcode reader up and running, connected to the PC and run the WebLink configuration interface. No software installation is needed since the PC interface is 100% web-browser based.

Omron Microscan's smarter smart camera platform, MicroHAWK®, is unveiled for the first time at The Vision Show 2016 in Boston, MA. MicroHAWK combines advanced barcode reading up to complex machine vision inspection all on the world's smallest smart cameras available, ideal for embedded applications in OEM for factory automation and clinical instrumentation.

Omron Microscan Global Business Development Manager for Electronics, Christoph Wimmer, introduces barcode reading and machine vision solutions on display at the IPC APEX 2016 tradeshow in Las Vegas, Nevada. Omron Microscan's MicroHAWK® Barcode Readers are integrated into a demo of Omron Microscan's PanelScan® PCB Traceability System to illustrate in-line PCB identification for worry-free traceability of components despite line changes resulting in new codes on PCBs, new code or mark locations, different PCB colors, and other changes.

MicroHAWK: Peru Presidential Election Application

MicroHAWK was a key player in the Peru presidential election, as shown in this high-speed reading application. We worked with a customer to establish a system where several MicroHAWK Barcode Readers are being used side by side to read codes on ballots for the election. This video illustrates the readers and WebLink software, which allow multiple devices to be configured live and side by side without special software.
